Maybe I'll just go to Blick and pretend my credit card is a gift card 😁. Man, that store just makes me so happy. Thanks for the video. Have fun playing with your new goodies, and if you happen to record it we'll be happy to watch 😉
Thank you for watching ❤️ Bring me with you if you’re swinging that credit card around 😂 I will definitely record the speedball kit for y’all once I have a design :) You are the 4th to comment, so if you’d like a wee drawing mailed to you, shoot me at message at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or @fionac.nyc on Instagram with your preferred shipping address!

The Faber-Castell Goldfaber Color pencils are probably like a student or studio grade pencil. In color pencil-land FC is most well known for their much beloved Polychromos professional color pencils. They also have the Albrecht Dhurer watercolor color pencils, also a professional line with the price to go with them. Polychromos and Prismacolor Premier (Polychromos priced a bit higher than Prismacolor pencils)are the two most popular & best selling professional color pencils out there. But many "student grade " pencils are still very good.
Honestly I like prismacolor best when I’ve used colored pencils previously, but thought I’d give the faber castell a try. I don’t anticipate using them to make anything sellable (but you never know lol) Thank you for watching and sharing your supply knowledge - it’s appreciated ❤️
Thank you for supporting as always, Elena! ❤️ Glad you can appreciate my chaotic energy 😂 You are the 7th to comment, so if you’d like a wee drawing mailed to you, shoot me at message at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or @fionac.nyc on Instagram with your preferred shipping address! Woo hoo!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love watching your hauls and watching you create! I love those little trading cards. You could create such cute things on those!
Thank you for watching, Sandy! ❤️ Appreciate you supporting this new channel as I continue to make videos - it definitely motivates me every week to make something new for everyone to watch :) You’re the 10th person to comment so I’d be happy to send you a wee drawing! Please message me at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or DM on Instagram @fionac.nyc with your preferred shipping address! Yayyy!
Girl you had me dying with those nibs lol. Love the square acrylic pad plus I'm a sucker for anything by Faber Castell. Hope you enjoy the pencils!!! Glad you found that other gift card. Enjoy your haul.
Haha I felt so silly and was like “do I re-record this?” But maybe it’ll serve someone else who won’t make my mistake 😂 I do love Faber castell pens so excited to try the pencils! Hope you have a great rest of your week!
I’m so keen on trying that acrylic paper! I’ve not seen that before and I think it’s so cute! I use both watercolours and acrylics, but I’m definitely more familiar with acrylics. I also love the muted pink acrylic.
Don't be scared! But definitely watch some videos or take a wee class because it can be a lot. I did oil painting courses way back when I was in college and I was too impatient for it lol XD It's a lot of waiting to dry and blending colours. I like to work fast and furious hahaha Sometimes it's good to try something new and know what doesn't work for you though, right? :)
Hope you do well on your art fair!! And your new art studio looks great. When you were doing it, I thought it would come out smaller, but it didn't!! Wish my studio was in the attic and not in the basement. Enjoy your space enough for me too🥰
Thank you so much- I’m excited for the fair 😊 I thought the same about the studio once the walls would be up, but they did a great job maintaining as much free space as possible. I had considered adding a bathroom, but glad I kept the open space instead. My husband has his basement man cave so it all worked out haha
Drawing Wiff Waffles (Rin) did a video on those little Trading Cards and it was the cutest thing. I’m looking to try those out one day lol 🙃 Just found your channel today and I absolutely loved this video! All the best to you! 💛
Thank you so much for watching & the sweet comment ❤️ I will have to watch Rin’s video for inspiration - thanks for the recommendation 😊 I hope you do get to try them one day as well!!
Right?! You are the 8th to comment so I'm happy to send you a wee drawing if you like! Just shoot a message to fionac.nyc@gmail.com or a DM on instagram @fionac.nyc with your preferred shipping address :) yay!
I keep looking at the pictures behind, they are really pretty and colorful. Your blick haul makes me want to go to blick and get the pencils and the carving kit. I really want to make my own stamps. Last time i did some was in 9th or 10th grade and i still have the prints from that. Lol
Thank you so much for the kind words, Stephanie! ❤️ I’m exhibiting those paintings next week and I’m nervous so your words gave me a boost 😊 Making prints is so fun. When I did them in grade school, it was with potatoes!! So if you have potatoes on hand you can save yourself a few bucks 😂 But seriously, let me know if you try the kit and what you think!!
I l9ve Faber Castel pencils. Kave a few different sets and they all are great! ^^ as for the rest of your haul, block printing looks pretty exciting ^^
Thank you for watching, Kamui! ❤️ I’m excited to try the colored pencils out - so many of you have had good experiences with them. And yes, the kit will be interesting! Hoping I can include trying it out in a future video 😊 Stay well & stay inspired!
Looking forward to you using the Speedball tile carving - now that you found the nibs :) I do not have acrylic paint but surely do appreciate all that you create. Your colored pencil purchase has inspired me to try mine again - with watercolor. Always fun to go along with wherever you take us
Thank you for watching, Deb! ❤️ Happy that you feel inspired to jump back into the colored pencils - let me know how it goes! Since you are the 2nd to comment, I’d be happy to mail you a wee drawing! Yay! Shoot me a message at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or a DM on Instagram @fionac.nyc with your preferred shipping address! Woo!
Blick looks like such a great store! I have been looking at those exact colored pencils to see how they compare to Prisma. The block printing kit looks so interesting. I've watched a couple tutorials from another UA-cam artist on them and it looks like fun! Just be very careful to cut away from yourself. The other artist really injured herself. Have fun with all these new goodies!! Thanks again for your content and take care!
Thank you for watching! ❤️ In my past I’ve used prismacolors so I’m interested to see as well how they compare! Thanks for the heads up on the block kit - I have jabbed myself in the past so a good reminder 😂 Stay well & stay inspired, friend! 🌟
Would love to carve the speedball linoleum! We unfortunately don't get that thick a linoleum in my country. We alternatively use linoleum tiles or a local brand of linoleum for linoprinting. Looking forward to see what you will be printing with your kit! You can't go wrong with Faber Castell pencils...I have tried the goldfaber aqua pencils and they were highly pigmented and I would use them interchangeable with the albrecht durer pencils from FC. I hope you have fun with them!
Thank you so much for watching ❤️ I remember in high school using linoleum tiles for printing. It was too cold to carve so we put them on the radiators to heat them before working on them 😂 Hopefully this’ll be much easier than that!! Excited to try the new pencils - love a high pigment ❤️ Stay well & stay inspired! 🌟
Great haul. That Speedball block painting looks interesting, make a video when you try it out so we can all share in the excitement. I have been seeing the Fabre Castell Goldfaber pencils everywhere. I’ve been wondering how they layer and if they are smooth. Anxious to see what you think.
Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ I will definitely make a video of the speedball kit once I have a drawing done (didn’t want to waste the one block I’m given since I haven’t had time to plan it 😂) I’m excited to try the pencils too! With all that said, you’re the first commenter!! Woo! If you would like a wee drawing mailed to you, shoot me a message at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or DM at @fionac.nyc on Instagram so I can collect your shipping address! Yay!
Dw I could have totally do the same aloof moment 😂😂 I would actually love to try block printing one day, I have some wood carving tools and I think they can be used for that but it’s not the basic ones. I just never bought any set bcs I still never decided on what I would do with it 😂😂 I love to work with coloured pencil and my faves are by Faber Castel but it’s the polychromos ones ! The prismacolors are also very cool they’re very buttery and pigmented, tho idk if the one I have are the ‘premiere’ you looked at in the video. Also the lil strathmore cards I think would be good to try the paper before buying a bigger version !
Thank you for watching ❤️ Honestly I’m not sure yet either 😂 But now that I have the set I’ll have to figure it out lolll I’ll have to check out the polychromos faber castels next time 😊 I haven’t used colored pencils in SO LONG! But yes the last time was prismacolor. We will see how this goes!! And yes I agree about the smaller cards 🌟
Ive always wanted to go to a blick store I am living vicariously through you haha I dont live near one so I always shop online! Im currently trying to hype myself up and buy a couple tubes of heavy body acrylics but it seems so intimating as someone who has only ever used less expensive paints
Thank you so much for watching ❤️ I’m very lucky to have art store options nearby as it can be difficult to decide when buying online as you mention. There’s something satisfying about browsing that the online experience hasn’t quite captured 🤔 Although I do get blicks emails and they do have some great deals online! Maybe keep an eye out for a deal on paints so it’ll feel less intimidating to buy 😊
I notice your different purses are they coach purchases?....finding missing gift cards are like finding your favorite paints are 70% off with a 10% store coupon...love ur upbeat music in your video sets a happy mood. Could you lay the small trading cards on the acrylic strathmore sheet just to see how many you could cut from one sheet of the lager arcylic paper I use Faber castle pencils I enjoy them I'm trying not to buy anything from china for one yr so I'm sourcing all my art supplies items from either germany or america or mexico as I think it's good to try to buy from artist locally around our country but I'm trying I say true to that .....mikelle by mom🎨👩🎨
My purses are usually coach, kate spade, Tory Burch or Kenneth Cole because I used to work in the industry as an art director 😊 But I also use tote bags that I got at different art events too! Yesss - finding gift cards are like finding buried treasure 😂
i love those itty bitty books i bought all the kinds that jerrys sells , alas no acrylic, would love to see what becomes of it and that liquid ex heavy body looks awesome
Thank you for watching, Deborah! ❤️ If not the acrylic paper, what kind of the tiny ones did you buy? Watercolour? In a previous video I tried the heavy body acrylic and liked it a lot :)
@@FionaCArt a stonehenge hot press wc, cold press stonehenge, cold press heavy which looks like as thick as the stonehenge, strathmore watcolor 400 series i want to try the 500 series i seriously hate cans on but they just came out with 100% cotton so i'm going to give them a try , bought several kinds of itty bitty yupo books but mostly i bought the cold press heavy stonehenge, probably bought 8 of them cuz they're only 1.59 at hearts artarama and almost everything there is checpaer than blick
Hi Fiona, I'm Libby. I just found your page, and it is nice to meet you! We have a couple of things in common. I was born and raised in NJ. Somerville. I too, love art. I'm a colorist, though I began as an oil painter. And, I also have a Rheumatologist
It’s nice to e-meet you, Libby! 😊 Yes, we have a few things in common - that’s so cool! I am definitely not an oil painter but have deep respect for those that are. Thank you for taking time to stop by my channel and leave a lovely comment ❤️
Those smaller cards would be great to do tests on especially if the paper you’re using is new to you and there’s a limited amount of it. 🙂 Would be exciting to see your review on it.
@@FionaCArt Also, you may need a bamboo barren/a tool that could act like a barren 😅 for your printmaking supplies. For an even transfer for the paint! 😁 happy printing!
I get the feeling I’m going to discover a bunch of things I’ll need to do this properly and it’ll be a royal mess LOL 😆 But I’m up for the challenge! Thanks! 😊
I want to see what you come up with using the speedball kit. I always want to get one but I worry I'm going to mess it up lol. Would love a monoprint on an artist trading card to hang on the wall. Hint, hint, wink, wink. I'm shameless lol. Thanks again for the video!
Thanks for watching! ❤️ I will do my best to record trying out the speedball kit, but it could be a mess 😂 Regardless I’m also shameless and will share! Haha You are the 6th to comment, so if you’d like a wee drawing mailed to you, shoot me at message at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or @fionac.nyc on Instagram with your preferred shipping address! Woo hoo!

I’m curious about the colour pencils because I’m also looking for some good colour pencils. The trading cards is a good way to spread you art and also get other artists art. I haven’t done a trade myself but have always thought it was such a great idea.
Thank you for watching, Anna! ❤️ I’m excited to try the new pencils out since it’s been so long - hope I remember how to use it properly 😂 I thought the trading cards was a super cute idea too. With that said, you’re the 9th to comment! Yay! If you’d like a wee drawing mailed to you, please message me at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or DM on Instagram at @fionac.nyc with your preferred shipping address! Woo!
I love the art trading cards. A good friend of mine makes a lot of them and there's a whole community where they live in Europe. I think there's several communities in the US too. I like the idea of the block printing and I just haven't spent the money to get started with it! Also I can't say about the specific ink in the set but as for the calligraphy ink I actually like the Blick brand better (although others are still better) than Speedball's ink. So I'm really curious as to how they turn out for the block printing inks.
Thank you so much for watching ❤️ I had no idea about the trading cards - such a fun idea! I have done printmaking a LONNNNG time ago back in school so I’m interested to see how my current work could translate. We will see and hope I get to share in a future video with y’all!
I definitely will try to record myself using it. But if you’re looking for a good tutorial I recommend checking out Paloma the peach and her using it: ua-cam.com/video/0UK72-wCnIs/v-deo.html
I had to sub.... So you've got a new sub. 🙂. I love watching hauls. If it was me using the supplies I would go for the paint and colored pencils. 🙂. We don't have a blick here. We have Michael's and Hobby Lobby. Oh and Jerry's.
Thank you for watching and subbing, Gia! ❤️ I appreciate the support as I’m starting this UA-cam journey! That’s a shame you don’t have a blick, but they do good deals online too 😊 Although nothing beats browsing an art supply store in person IMO! I like Jerrys as well - it definitely got me through art school when nothing else was around. Would you believe I’ve never been inside a Hobby Lobby?! Thinking of doing a video of my first trip there sometime. ❤️
@@FionaCArt oh that would be a great video! I've never been in a blicks. I have been to Michaels and Hobby Lobby. One of the best and coolest things is to get an art haul. I LOVE watching them!!!! Oh. Do you have Instagram? I'm gialee24 on there. It's all art and what I've made and done and all.
I’m so sorry 😢 I have spondylitis. It’s so tough. I hope to do a video about it in the future, but the best advice is meeting yourself where you are at. If you’re having a tough day, rest. If you have energy, see what art you can make. I know there’s only so much we can do with our available spoons. Thank you for watching 💕
Thanks for watching, friend! ❤️ They are really cute! I had no idea communities existed where they really trade these 😳 You could buy some paper and cut them down to size for the same effect 😊
Hi Just find your channel. Really like your videos. If you want we can trade ATCs. Really fun to send and receive little pieces of art from other artists. Nice job.
Thank you for watching, Monica! ❤️ I appreciate the kind words 😊 I’d love to trade sometime! I’ve already lined up giveaways for this round of cards, but maybe next time I buy some we can do that!! What type of art do you do?
I too am a sucker for turquoise and pink together! Excited to see what you make with the haul items.
Thank you for watching, Roo! ❤️ I was only going to get the muted pink but then I saw the turquoise and it dragged me in 😂
Maybe I'll just go to Blick and pretend my credit card is a gift card 😁. Man, that store just makes me so happy. Thanks for the video. Have fun playing with your new goodies, and if you happen to record it we'll be happy to watch 😉

And I loved your journey! First time in a Blocks. I would like the colored pencis. My favorite art supp!y of choice.
Best, Libby
Blick is so fun and addictive (dangerous for a wallet!! 😂) Colored pencils are fun - can’t wait to play with them more :)
I love when I find a gift card that has a balance 🥰🥰🥰 but an art store would be the jackpot. lol 😂
Thanks for watching 😊 it was a major jackpot!! 😆

Thanks for watching! ❤️ I will do my best to record trying out the speedball kit, but it could be a mess 😂 Regardless I’m also shameless and will share! Haha

The acrylic square paper makes me excited. For some reason I always feel I need a canvas for acrylic paintings and it’s just not true!
Thank you for watching, Kelsey! ❤️ I’ve been leaning towards canvas too lately, so I’m excited to try something different!

I’m curious about the colour pencils because I’m also looking for some good colour pencils. The trading cards is a good way to spread you art and also get other artists art. I haven’t done a trade myself but have always thought it was such a great idea.
Thank you for watching, Anna! ❤️ I’m excited to try the new pencils out since it’s been so long - hope I remember how to use it properly 😂 I thought the trading cards was a super cute idea too.
With that said, you’re the 9th to comment! Yay! If you’d like a wee drawing mailed to you, please message me at Fionac.nyc@gmail.com or DM on Instagram at @fionac.nyc with your preferred shipping address! Woo!
Ack I know this is a month later but never get foam core anywhere but the dollar store!! Can't beat a dollar a panel. 😁
Ohhh! Will keep an eye out next time for that :)
those Faber Castell pencils *- * I woul love to try them. I have a really old set ^^" and those black ones look so pretty
I’m excited to give them a try! It’s been so long since I’ve used colored pencils 😬
Yees^^ try them and please let us know
Will do 💪🏻
Please do a Art supplies collection video......we want to see your collection
Sure! That’s a great idea 😊 Thank you for sharing!
I love the art trading cards. A good friend of mine makes a lot of them and there's a whole community where they live in Europe. I think there's several communities in the US too. I like the idea of the block printing and I just haven't spent the money to get started with it! Also I can't say about the specific ink in the set but as for the calligraphy ink I actually like the Blick brand better (although others are still better) than Speedball's ink. So I'm really curious as to how they turn out for the block printing inks.
Thank you so much for watching ❤️ I had no idea about the trading cards - such a fun idea! I have done printmaking a LONNNNG time ago back in school so I’m interested to see how my current work could translate. We will see and hope I get to share in a future video with y’all!
Would love to see a demo on the carving if you could been thinking of getting one but keep thinking don't know if I would enjoy it or could do it
I definitely will try to record myself using it. But if you’re looking for a good tutorial I recommend checking out Paloma the peach and her using it: ua-cam.com/video/0UK72-wCnIs/v-deo.html
I’m new to acrylic and use canvas panels, I want to try paper for acrylic 🤔
You should definitely give it a try! ❤️ Let me know what you think after 😊
I had to sub.... So you've got a new sub. 🙂. I love watching hauls. If it was me using the supplies I would go for the paint and colored pencils. 🙂. We don't have a blick here. We have Michael's and Hobby Lobby. Oh and Jerry's.
Thank you for watching and subbing, Gia! ❤️ I appreciate the support as I’m starting this UA-cam journey! That’s a shame you don’t have a blick, but they do good deals online too 😊 Although nothing beats browsing an art supply store in person IMO! I like Jerrys as well - it definitely got me through art school when nothing else was around. Would you believe I’ve never been inside a Hobby Lobby?! Thinking of doing a video of my first trip there sometime. ❤️
@@FionaCArt oh that would be a great video! I've never been in a blicks. I have been to Michaels and Hobby Lobby. One of the best and coolest things is to get an art haul. I LOVE watching them!!!! Oh. Do you have Instagram? I'm gialee24 on there. It's all art and what I've made and done and all.
Art hauls are def fun! But unfortunately don’t have the cash to do them as much as I want 😂 Yes! My Instagram is Fionac.nyc ❤️ I’ll check yours out!
@@FionaCArt I hear ya!!!! Same here
I’m an artist who has arthritis too. Psoriatic arthritis. Any tips you can share on dealing with arthritis and Art making ?
I’m so sorry 😢 I have spondylitis. It’s so tough. I hope to do a video about it in the future, but the best advice is meeting yourself where you are at. If you’re having a tough day, rest. If you have energy, see what art you can make. I know there’s only so much we can do with our available spoons. Thank you for watching 💕
@@FionaCArt yes I spondylitis with the kind of arthritis I have as well. Not fun . Good to know we’re not alone
You are definitely not alone 💕
I’m trying to use my Blick gift card **ONLINE** but I don’t know where to add it. :((
I’m guessing there’s a spot to add it during check out 🤔
I so regret not buying these "trading cards" when I last visited blick in 2018...
Thanks for watching, friend! ❤️ They are really cute! I had no idea communities existed where they really trade these 😳 You could buy some paper and cut them down to size for the same effect 😊
Are the document bags acid free?
Yes!! 🙌🏻
Hi Just find your channel. Really like your videos. If you want we can trade ATCs. Really fun to send and receive little pieces of art from other artists. Nice job.
Thank you for watching, Monica! ❤️ I appreciate the kind words 😊 I’d love to trade sometime! I’ve already lined up giveaways for this round of cards, but maybe next time I buy some we can do that!! What type of art do you do?
